<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tout le monde ne parle que des Berserkers. Bruyants. D\u00e9sordonn\u00e9s. Faciles \u00e0 imaginer. Les Ulfhednar \u00e9taient diff\u00e9rents. Plus silencieux. Plus inqui\u00e9tants. Leur nom signifie \u00ab manteaux de loup \u00bb. Non pas parce qu’ils aimaient se d\u00e9guiser, mais parce que le loup \u00e9tait l’\u00e9l\u00e9ment central de leur philosophie du combat. Les loups ne se jettent pas dans la m\u00eal\u00e9e en hurlant. Ils observent. Ils attendent. Ils choisissent le moment le plus critique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Il s’agissait probablement de combattants d’\u00e9lite li\u00e9s \u00e0 \u00d3din et \u00e0 d’anciens cultes guerriers. Ils servaient sans doute d’\u00e9claireurs, de poseurs d’embuscades, ou constituaient la premi\u00e8re vague envoy\u00e9e en avant pour saper la confiance de l’ennemi avant m\u00eame le d\u00e9but des combats. Le genre d’hommes qu’on envoie en \u00e9claireurs quand on veut que l’ennemi soit fatigu\u00e9, d\u00e9stabilis\u00e9 et d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 vaincu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ils vivaient en marge de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, comme les loups au-del\u00e0 des cl\u00f4tures. Indispensables en temps de guerre. Mal \u00e0 l’aise en temps de paix. Pas le genre de copains qu’on invite \u00e0 boire un verre, mais ceux qu’on voulait absolument \u00e0 ses c\u00f4t\u00e9s quand les choses tournaient mal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ni magie, ni m\u00e9tamorphose. Uniquement de l’entra\u00eenement, des rituels et un \u00e9tat d’esprit pr\u00e9par\u00e9 \u00e0 la violence silencieuse. Les Berserkers brisaient les murs de boucliers. Les Ulfhednar semaient la m\u00e9fiance bien avant le d\u00e9but du combat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
